And here’s the Green Lake Moms Daily Deal: pay only $25 for one 30-minute private lesson on drumset, congas, marimba, or vibraphone, plus new drumsticks and a practice pad.

Interview with Dr. Enfield: Kumbaya?

Eric July 25, 2011 4 Comments

Dr. Enfield is currently in an unenviable year long job interview process as she seeks to be the permanent replacement for Maria Goodloe-Johnson. While she must be very busy keeping a cap on the scandals that emanate from the highly political and mathematically challenged district HQ, she took a bit of time to chat with me about her plans for Wallingford and the Seattle School District. The answers are based on notes taken during a phone interview we had on July 21, 2011.

Council to act Monday on Metro funding

Chris Witwer July 24, 2011 2 Comments

Did I tell you last week that the 7/21 meeting in Burien was the last opportunity for public input regarding the proposed Metro service cuts? I believe I did, and I was wrong. And for the record, now you can’t say I never admit to being wrong. The proof is in the pudding post. Anyway…

Monday, July 25, the King County Council is scheduled to vote on County Executive Dow Constantine’s proposed ordinance for a two-year, $20 congestion reduction charge to help fund Metro Transit service. If the charge is not approved, and the voters to do not approve a …

House replaced!

Margaret July 23, 2011 37 Comments

Last September, Jordan reported a house theft on 43rd, between Wallingford and Burke, and we have good news: a new and improved house has replaced the missing one!

If you look at the comments from last year’s post, you can read responses from both the architect and the owner, as well as kerrizor’s promise to, upon completion of the house, leave a jar of jam at the front door. Can we have confirmation that this did, in fact, happen?

Congratulations to the owners on their beautiful, new home!

Doggy Style set to open

Margaret July 22, 2011 6 Comments

Reader Gayle shared the good news with us, that Doggy Style, the hot dog stand we told you about earlier in the year, is set to open!

Looks like the hotdog stand on Stone Way just off 45th is finally going to open! As my daughter and I were walking home today we saw that they had just hung their sign, it’s called Doggy Style. I mentioned that I had been wondering when they were going to open and was told it’s the city’s fault, apparently they were trying to categorize the hot dog stand as a restaurant. But I’m …
